DR. RICHARD E. BLACKWELDER COLLECTION

PRELIMINARY INVENTORY

The Richard E. Blackwelder Collection has not been fully processed. The objective of this
preliminary inventory is to provide interested patrons with a basic understanding of the secondary sources that Blackwelder collected about the life and work of J.R.R. Tolkien. An author- and subject-index to the collection is available within the the archives. Richard Blackwelder also
contributed numerous editions and printings of Tolkien's work to the Department of Special Collections. These volumes, including Blackwelder's own writing (Tolkien Phraseology (1990), A Tolkien Thesaurus (1990), and Tolkien Portraiture (1993)) have
been cataloged in MARQCAT, Marquette Libraries' electronic catalog.
